Beyoncé Makes History with 28th Grammy Win, Becomes the Most-Decorated Female Artist of All Time
Beyoncé reigns supreme, making history wining her with 28th Grammy, making her the show’s most-decorated female artist. She surpassed Alison Krauss’ previously held record of 27 wins. Beyoncé is now tied with Quincy Jones for the second-most Grammy wins, while conductor Georg Stolti holds the record with 31 Grammys.
Beyoncé, who had nine nominations, the most of any artist in 2021, made history with her 28th win. “Black Parade” took Best R&B Performance honors, putting her across the line set by bluegrass artist Alison Krauss. She also grabbed Best Rap Performance “Savage Remix” with Megan Thee Stallion, who also took home the Best New Artist award. Beyoncé told the rapper: “I have so much respect for you. I’m honored that you asked me to be a part of this song.”
“Thank you guys. As an artist, I believe it’s my job and all of our jobs to reflect the times,” she said. “I wanted to uplift and encourage all of the Black kings and queens who inspire me and inspire the whole world … I can’t believe this happened, it’s such a magical night.”
She then shouted out her 9-year-old daughter Blue, who also took home her first Grammy for “Brown Skin Girl” with her mom, as well as her 3-year-old twins Rumi and Sir, whom she shares with husband JAY-Z.
“I know my daughter is watching, two daughters and my son are watching,” she said. “Blue, congratulations you won a Grammy tonight. I’m so proud. I love you so much, my rock.”
